Your photo comparison speaks for itself and I cannot tell you how much better those eggs taste. My friend Krista appears on my doorstop every Friday morning and asks "any eggs today?". Of course, I head out to the barn and pick up a couple, boil them and we stand over the sink eating and making strange sounds about how wonderful these tastes! Knowing the eggs are produced from organic chickens and are as fresh as we'll ever get is always a good feeling too!

Your pictures are absolutely beautiful and although I've only read 2 posts, I really like the content so far. The egg post reminded me of these super expensive free range eggs I got recently. The yolks were giant and so bright orange, just like your Grammy's. Guess happy chickens have orange yolks. :) Hi there- I just found your blog- I love it!

(in other words.. how 'bout a new post???) I mean... when that whole JOB thing isn't in the way and all. ;) *ahem*

I'm from Maine as well, and we were lucky enough to have 2 or 3 people in my hometown who had chickens. I miss fresh eggs. I'm so jealous when I see Nigella working with them on tv.... Hey there!

Not only did it look like Easter every day, they were also definitely tastier than what you find in the store. Makes me long for country living...
